		In the novel Dune, the Bene Gesserit breeding scheme was, in theory, to have come to full fruition from the union of an Atreides daughter (born of the Lady Jessica and the Duke Leto Atreides) and the Na-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (son of Abulurd Harkonnen, brother of the Siridar-Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
		Interestingly, the personality that eventually took control of Alia was that of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, a memory that was able to surface due to her place in the Bene Gesserit breeding scheme.
		(An Atreides daughter (born of the Lady Jessica and the Duke Leto Atreides) was to have bred with the Na-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (Son of Abulurd Harkonnen, brother of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen) with a high probability for producing from this union the Bene Gesserit totality: the Kwisatz Haderach.

		The Harkonnens have managed to gain a spy in the Atreides inner household, and in doing so they achieve something unique in Imperium history: they have broken the 'imperial conditioning' of a Suk doctor, which is believed to make such a person incorruptible.
		So when the Harkonnen attack, Yueh lowers the defensive shields, and uses sedative drugs to disable Leto, Paul, and Jessica, leaving the Atreides leaderless and disorganized under the Harkonnen and Sardaukar military onslaught, which is far more powerful than the Atreides ever expected.
		Because of the use of truthsayers in the Empire, the Baron Harkonnen needs to be able to say truthfully that he was not (directly) responsible for their deaths.

		which is no problem for Walter to lift, but he struggles with the Harkonnen considerably.), this 30 mm cannon uses various types of shells available, including depleted uranium with silver for piercing armored targets and incendiary napalm rounds for destroying large groups of opponents both on land and in the air.
		This is further confirmed by the appearance of the gun's "spirit" during dream sequences in the manga and episode previews in the anime; the spirit in question bears a strong resemblance to Baron Harkonnen from David Lynch's film adaptation of the novel.

		In House Harkonnen, the conflict encompasses the tragedy of nuclear war, marked by grief and horror, vengeance and torment, and all while the complex intrigues continue to unfold.
		In the original Dune he hates the Harkonnens because his sister was in their slaves pits and because they killed his family.
		I understand the Harkonnens are violent, and that the Dune 'universe' is not a happy place, but the depiction of the death of Gurney's sister, for example, was just outright sick, disgusting, demeaning, and moreover it was inappropriate for this series.

		Part of the reason was obvious, at least to the family: her full name was Trieza Anastasia Harkonnen-Wikkheiser, and as the Baron's eightieth birthday would come soon, it was only appropriate that she would send her royal relative a large and costly gift.

		Plots and counterplots involving the debauched Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, his Bene Gesserit enemies, and the treacherous schemers of the enigmatic Bene Tleilax escalate the tension among factions of a fragile galactic empire.
		The first one dealt more with Corrino and Harkonnen than Atreides (yet was named after the latter); the second one seems to focus more on Atreides than any one else.
		Sure they take different courses of action (the Harkonnens kill for pleasure, the Atreides try to make choices that reflect an honor bound system) but they all have they same opinions about the greater universe at large, and there is no uniqueness among them that can be attributable to varying cultures.

		In addition to the question of WMDs, the Harkonnen administration has also been under fire because of continued attacks on Imperial forces by the Bene Gesserit, and because Paul "Maud'dib" Atreides -- the Fremen leader and "Ace of Spades" in the "Arrakis Most Wanted" playing-card deck -- remains at large.
		Besides: the comparison is between W and Harkonnen.
